Liverpool hero John Aldridge admits Jurgen Klopp's team has proved him wrong.
Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: "The 2-0 win against Arsenal on Wednesday night was a significant blow in the Premier League title race, coming after Manchester City dropped points at Crystal Palace a couple of days earlier.
"For the first time in many a long month, Liverpool are within striking distance of City and that piled the pressure on Jurgen Klopp and his players ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
"City would have been hoping to see an in-form Arsenal take points away from Liverpool, but what they got was a composed performance from a side that confirmed they are going nowhere in this title race.
"Liverpool will now go above City if they beat Watford in their next Premier League match after the upcoming international break, which would add another dimension to this story.
"I didn't believe this title race could be reignited when City were 11 points ahead not so long ago, but I got that wrong.
"It has taken an incredible run of form from Liverpool to get themselves back in the mix and at this moment, they are clearly a step or two ahead of City.
"The signing of Luis Díaz in January has given their forward line a huge boost, with the other attacking players at Klopp's disposal raising their game to compete with the new boy.
"Diogo Jota continues to have a big role and I have been impressed with Roberto Firmino's contribution coming off the bench."
